Robbed of Millions.

A statement in detail of the affairs of
the Pacific railroads is being prepared by
Maj. Reddington, with view of the pros
ecution, both criminal and civil, of the
directors Of these companies. 1t is well
known fact that the government and the
Central and Union Pacific roads have been
outrageously plundered by the directors
of these roads out of S15, ZOO, 600. 1t is
also fact that all this money could be
recovered, provided the government took
proper action, and 1t is now intimated that
it intends doing so, and when the proper
time arrives Maj. Reddington will produce
the name of man who acted as paymaster
for Huntington and his agent, Sherrell,
for services performed in Washington, or
In other words, in explaining to MEM
bers their duty regarding the Pacific roads.
There is sufficient evidence i'm Hunting
tom testimony on which to base an in
dlctment of Huntington and most of his
associates in the judgment of good lawyers.
But when the Pacific railroad commission
make their report it is believed that there
will be sufficient material to bring case
against every member of the Pacific rail-
road ring.
The indications are that the administra-
ton will push the prosecution.

NOW FOR WAR!
AN AMERICAN VESSEL SUNK BY
CANUCKS.
Twelve or Fifteen Sailors Drowned

| Twelve or Fifteen Sailors Drowned
| An Eyewitness Describes the Scene.
| A gentleman who arrived In Ottawa the
other morning from BuctOuche, small
village on the Gulf of st. Lawrence shore
of New Brunswick, says that a fishing
schooner belonging to the United States
has been sunk by a shot from one of the
Canad an cruisers, and that all on board
were lost
The statement appears incredible, but
the reliability of the person who com
municates it can be depended on.
He states that one night about eight
days ago, while sleeping in house in the
village, himself and his wife were awak-
ened by two loud reports. Concluding
that the noise was thunder, they went to
sleep again. In the morning they were
told that the noise was two cannon shots
fired from cruiser i'm pursuit of an Ameri-
can fishing schooner. The second shot struck
one of the schooner's masts. which fell
with the sails and turned the schooner over
on her side, when she filled and sank inn
mediately. Every man Oh board went
down.
The affair he states was witnessed by a
couple of fishermen who were of the shore
boat. After seeing the result of her shots
the cruiser put to sea. There was no
storm. so the noise heard on shore could
not have been caused by thunder. The
reports were heard by nearly everybody in
the village. The gentleman says every
effort is being made to keep it quiet.
The object of the authorities in suppress
ing the news can hardly be understood,
but if true the facts must come out, as it
would hardly be possible to keep every
man on the cruiser from telling something
of the story as soon as he reaches port.
The number of lives lost would probably
be from II to 10.
That the report did not come from
Buct0uche sooner is explained from the
fact that it is an isolated place

What is claimed to be the oldest
document in the state of New York is
in the possession of Stephen Wormuth
of Fultonville. 1t is the original Ken
nedy patent, grant of land from King
George l., comprising 775 acres in AL
bany county, on the south side of the
Mohawk. The document is dated April
Is, 1927. The Indians were to receive
two shilling and six pence per acre as
rent for this tract. But though the
rental was small the wax seal on the
manuscript was large, measuring over
one foot in circumference. The agree
ment is written on parchment, and the
chirography is small, cramped and ir-
regular. The whole is said to have the
appearance of a Zula war map, and it
would make a real estate agent smile.
